Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast - up north.... Long Island got hit really bad. Long Beach is destroyed, Bay Park where Greg's older bother lives was destroyed too - they are homeless so they are staying with us - at one point we had 12 people in the house(including 2 kids), 8 birds, a huge snake, a dog and 4 birds. it's been stressful but you do what you have to do.

I am back from my retreat in Palm Springs with the Shutter Sisters at Ace Hotel - what a great time. I enjoyed the sisterhood and all the photo ops. I got to explore downtown Palm Springs by myself. my roommate Laura was just the best ever. the whole experience was incredible.
Laura starting talking to this Lady Camille when we were doing tutu photos and she wanted to put one one - she was awesome and after posing for photos said she felt empowered.

I got this photo from her yesterday and I want to shared it - she borrowed the camera from someone to take this photo because she said we inspired her. She has totally inspired me - the light, the wood, the glass bottle and the note - awesome photo - Camille you rock.

I saw my oncologist yesterday and bloodwork showed NDD - no disease detected!! Woo hoo!!
Dr. K told me I would be keeping port in for another year and half. Yuk but I will deal with it.
I love going to see Dr. K and his staff. I gave the copies of my story in the Fort Mill Magazine and Breast Cancer wellness magazine - I am still so excited I got my story and photos published in both.
Walking home I took some photos of the leaves on the ground - I don't get to see the colors change the way I would if I lived in South Carolina but I do get to see some. I need to plan a trip to NJ to visit my friend Susan so I can see the leaves at GFS changing or the ones in Princeton.

In eight days I leave for my Photo retreat with the Shutter Sisters. I am so excited - I need the 5 days of photo taking and sisterhood. Warm weather will be good too. Palm trees and cool signs - I am looking forward to taking photos.

I took some shoes home from the photo studio at work yesterday and when I got home I took photos of them with flowers. I always love to shoot flowers and shoes that intrigue me - when I can combine the 2 it really makes me happy.

I also decided to get creative with my apple and a bottle I bought one Halloween

Pine cones were next to be photographed. I think I am getting my photo mojo back just in time for the Shutter Sister Oasis Camp on October 20

Yesterday afternoon I got to photograph my friends and their baby girl - who had never been to the beach until then. Little L was so excited to see the said, seagulls and water but didn't like to touch the sand!

Last night was also the Harvest moon 2nd day - didn't see the moon on the beach but when I was driving home I pulled over to shoot it.
